[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KieranSteeves:
A while ago I downloaded jelly bean before it was officially released (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886709) and now that it is officially released I would like to return to the original ROM. However when I boot into recovery, select "apply update from external storage", and pick the stock rom (http://www.hotfile.com/dl/170455695/ba5821b/I747MVLALH1_I747MOYCALH1_BMC.zip.html) after a few seconds of loading it says, in red, "E:signature verification failed". I dont know what else to do because I read that factory reset doesn't reset the ROM, am I doing anything wrong? Help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DamageSource:
That's the stock image..its not a flashable zip file..that stock ROM needs to be flashed using Odin. Just download mobile Odin from the play store, follow the apps directions and check the box that keeps the root and you'll be on official jellybean.

Update how? If you mean the Windows Phone 7.8 update; I'm thinking a couple shots of your favorite beverage which might get you drunk, a couple of Hail Marys and don't hold your breath. No carrier that I am aware of has the official "Windows Phone 7.8 update to those of us who weren't blessed with Windows Phone 7.8 or 8.0 when they bought their devices to begin with. If you're crazy enough to get the hardware necessary to do it yourself then by all means but there's no guarantee the process will work on every Eternity on the face of the earth as many have testified here to pulling teeth. I'm pretty sure I didn't make you feel any better than when you asked.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joe333x:
I just realized that because I have Insurance on my phone it gives me the ability to locate, lock, sound an alarm and wipe (even thought it only wipes contacts which is pointless) my phone remotely. I tested it out and its pretty cool, the alarm works even if the phone is on silence and the lock stays on even after reboot even though if the person is smart they can just boot into recovery and wipe the phone but most thieves are not that smart. The location feature was also able to pin point my phone at my house on a map. Just figured I'd let anyone else know who has insurance on their phone that might not know about this app.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
I think you can get a slightly cheaper insurance package and use something like lookout mobile security to cover the lost phone scenarios. Just a thought. I don't know how much your plan is and all that but for me insurance is like 6 bucks for loss or damage and the extra security features are like 3 dollars more or something.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joe333x:
Well I was paying 7.99 for PHP bundle which includes loss, theft, damage, and mobile security. I guess tmo is increasing the cost of the note 2 PHP to 11.99 but my big thing that I like is having the warranty because no matter how long to have the phone you can send it back and get a new one for $5. I think paying 11.99 is still worth knowing I wont have to pay 600+ for a phone if i break mine or it gets stolen. The Mobile Security is just a plus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
The only bad part is the 130 dollar deductible lol. That will go down the longer you have the phone though.

I went through that like 2 weeks after I got mine. Dropped it and broke the screen. Ended up getting a brand new one in the box the next day. Can't complain about that.

Swiftly sent from my Galaxy Note 2 via XDA premium
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joe333x:
Yeah 130 is better than 600. I remember when insurance was like 3.99 and the replacment phone was free. Too many people took advantage of it and thats why the rate keeps going up along with the deductible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] illmaticz:
It is not unlimited, there is a set amount of claims you can make per year.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] janjannsen99:
12 dollar pee month times 12 144 dollars person year times 2 is 288 dollars over the lifetime of a two year contract. Pretty pricey. And isn't there a deductible. 288 plus 130 is 418.

Dang that's a lot of money. Plus I never end up keeping the phone for that long anyways. That 418 dollars would have been applied to the note 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdiddy_ub:
its a lot if you never make a claim...but if you do, it more than pays for itself in 1 time

for everyone else (like myself)...its paying for peace of mind
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zeitgeist77:
True but since the note 2 came out iv lost 2......lol bricked 1 and for some reason they only charged me for the lost 1 not the malfunctioning 1 moral to the story is if you lose or break it 130 off top bot if you hard brick or drop in water you're warranty will save you if you play it right and that will save you 130 dollars dont use insurance unless lost check th warranty first b4 you pay 130
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
When I had my vibrant I got about 7 replacement's (no $h!t) and I only paid the deductible once (broken screen). I know at least b4 that you would only pay if 1. You lose the phone 2. You break the screen 3. Water damage
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xedualMCx:
It's $170 deductible not $130
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
Pretty sure I just got mine replaced a month ago. It's $130 through tmob and asurion.

Who is yours through? $170 is kinda ridiculous.

I stand corrected. Just got a letter saying they were gonna bump up the rates. $12 a month plus $175 deductible. So that's $463 for 2 years. I think I'm gonna go ahead and cancel my insurance.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
There definitely are more power security apps out there, but knowing that there is already the groundwork there straight outta the box is pretty nice (still requires some form of setup which means users are only saved time for however long it takes to install an app... not sure why though as its not like they dont have all that info upon signup) but ultimately knowing its through the carrier itself is reassuring... be nice to see added features like gotya picture reporting and the like but maybe one day

Also its nice to know that the ratez can and will increase, wonder what the basis is? I think id be puttin up a little more of a fight considering I was quoted at 130 upon new customer purchase of my GNII
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
It's the fine print at the bottom where they say rates and services subject to change without notice. Hahaha. But ya I'm gonna drop insurance on mine. I've already had one replacement for this one and at 12 dollars a month for 2 years plus 175 is 463 dollars. No thanks. By this time next year I can buy a brand new one for that price.

Swiftly sent from my Galaxy Note 2 via XDA premium
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Z51:
Reason the price goes up is because of all the insurance fraud. People take advantage of that. SMH

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chodie:
I was running LK8 stock rooted and performed the LL4 update via Kies. I had originally tried to do it OTA and in the process wiped the phone to get rid of the modified status only to be put in queue for the OTA. Before formatting the phone I had performed a titanium app and data backup as well as a Nandroid backup.

This leads me to the question. Since the baseband has changed, if I restore the Nandroid back up would it revert back to LK8? It's my understanding that a Nandroid backup is a compete backup of everything that was on the phone other than the external SD card. It would be nice if I could restore it (it took forever to get the mods, launcher and phone settings the way I liked them), but one would think that after a firmware update the Nandroid backup would be useless.

I'm just trying to find the easiest way to restore to my previous state. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Edit: Titanium backup restored all settings!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zRalphz:
If you have TWRP recovery, then it won't change your radio unless you had that checked off when doing nandroid backup. If you did have it checked, it will put it back to LK8.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chodie:
I have been using CWM and doing the Nandroid backups via the toolkit and haven't noticed any option that talked about changing the radio. Also after restoring the Titanium backup everything seems to be in order other than Gmail not sync'ing.

Thank you for your reply.

So far I have used about 8 nexus 4's ( I keep ordering replacements to keep them ). And I don't know how to test this but all the 8gb just feel quite a bit faster.

Anyone else feel the same, also I tried stock and then rooted to cm10.1 mako all the same way.

Yes I'm the bad guy because I have to lie to Google to get more to help people in need. Who cares what happens with phone it makes somebody happy. Blame Google not me I am just a guy trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents.

Anyway does anyone feel the 8gb is faster. Also just got a mercury slim case on amazon I have to say in white or black this is the best case hands down. I pretty much ordered every single one. Guess that makes me a douche because I gave a company money in exchange for a product.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draugaz:
Somehow I get a feeling this is some kind of strange trolling.

Like those messages about 21xC devices without sparkling back.

Here is why: the OP goes through his 4-th device (implying he is getting replacements) and somehow manages to get his 16gb replaced with 8gb. Which is somewhat strange and I suppose such an event would trigger a very different post.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fataldesain:
No actually it would not seeing how much I can sell one for. And if you guys don't think a lot of people are doing this now you lying to yourself. There are a ton of nexus 4's on eBay for sale buy one now and sell yours when you get it maybe you even make a profit.

My nexus 4 and my girlfriends nexus were free and that was my goal. There is no excuse for not having a nexus 4 if you really wanted one. I'm so sure I somehow jammed the system all across the world. Sorry that life has not been fair to your pursuit for a nexus 4. I'm sure someone starving in a poor country could feel your pain, I mean what a tragedy. Maybe I should just call the police and turn myself in.

Then when you break your nexus 4 that is super fragile you will wonder why you even bothered.

And somehow I worse than the guy that orders 1 nexus 4 and has it replaced 3 times because it has a "flaw". Knowing damn well this is a 300 dollar phone and expecting iPhone 5 quality. I mean does anyone remember all you guys who kept replacing your nexus 7.

All of this is driven by hype and I blame Google for not making more so you can get it in your hand and realize its not all that and your tears were not needed.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] medicineman360:
I love be this phone. Well, I really want to live it. However, I'm quite disheartened to hear others talk about the superb battery life in the LGOG, when I find the battery life in mine as simply atrocious. Under moderate to the-low-side-of-heavy use, I *might* get four (FOUR) hours of use. In tried eco mode, but that didn't help. I installed sprint zone and let it set the optimization for the battery, but that didn't help either.

I left for work at 1730 hours tonight, and unplugged the phone about 5 minutes before that. This screen shot was taken about 15 minutes before writing this post.

When should I seriously start considering the fact that this battery may be junk? Or should I just accept it?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] javskies:
if you are ok with unlocking your phone and falshing i would def recomend flashing a rom and jokersax's kernel. both have battery optimation tweaks and will definitely help battery life.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shook187:
Coming from the Galaxy Note 2 I was expecting poor battery life considering I was already spoiled by the Note 2, I actually found battery life on this device to be much better than I expected definitely much better than the galaxy s3.

Not sure if your problem is an isolated one. But I notice you have almost 7 hours of battery life and still have 30 percent remaining that doesn't look too bad to me. What are you getting for screen time?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] medicineman360:
At the time I'm writing this reply, screen time in use, is 2h 14m 23 total. I can't give a completely accurate number now, as the phone has been charging for the past 90 minutes, or so.

I'm understanding that it's saying the screen had a total "on time" of 2:14:23 since unplugging it turning it on at 1730. I'm gonna guess that the screen time was 2 hrs total when I had to plug it in (it was at 17% by that time). So, 83% loss, in about 7 1/2 total uptime hours (1730 - 0030 when I created this thread *I think*). Out of that 7.5 hrs, the screen was on for only 2 hrs total (again, if I understand that correctly).

I'm thinking that's beyond excessive. Even my SE x10a, which had dismal battery performance, lasted longer than this thing.

Generally speaking, I'm comfortable flashing a new rom in phones, however I wanna hold off on this one... just yet.

With battery life this poor, I'm not convinced a new rom will be THAT big of an improvement.

Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my question.

Hi all,

i want to know if there is any External flash hardware for N7000 Camera, for better flash as i get very bad pictures in low light as LED flash seems insufficient.

Any flash hardware that might get connect to mini USB or via OTG USB and can act as camera flash light.

If yes, can you please suggest good option to it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] bhatia.mani:
Please suggest if anybody is aware

No Answer from anyone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] samsungi5500:
Maybe you could use some DSLR flash with it if it supports optical slave mode (flash from your note triggers big flash). It would not be something to carry around in your pocket but it could give you good resoult. Or you can get powerfull usb led lamp and plug it in with usb otg.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DJ_smooth:
The problem is timing. A flash that is 10 milliseconds too late is useless. Real cameras have a dedicate hardware output that will send a precise digital signal at the right instant to trigger an external flash. Our note (and every cell phone I am aware of) lacks this hardware output (sometimes called a "hotshoe" on cameras). Without this output, your only choice is a flash unit that detects your flash and fires instantly or a really bright, constant light. To be honest, your best bet is a good flashlight of some kind.
